Dr. Steven Brownlow, LPC

Dr. Steven Brownlow is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and a Licensed Professional Counselor - Supervisor practicing in Texas. A Licensed Clinical Psychologist has advanced training in psychological assessment and therapy, and a Licensed Professional Counselor, or LPC, is a state-licensed therapist who provides psychotherapy and, as a Supervisor, offers clinical oversight to other counselors. He centers his work on intense, overwhelming emotions - whether grief, despair, shame, helplessness, guilt, or loneliness - and on the ways those feelings can derail daily life.

He approaches clients who feel swept away by emotion with treatments he has spent his career developing and testing. Those protocols were created specifically to help people regain self-regulation when they have been overmatched by strong feelings, and they have been applied across a wide range of settings and problems. His methods have been used effectively with clients spanning ages 4 to 104.

Dr. Brownlow takes particular interest in supporting people who have been told they are "too sensitive" or who label themselves that way. He reframes sensitivity as an asset and teaches practical strategies to prevent others' emotions from overwhelming one's system. By reducing the draining influence of others' feelings, he helps clients reclaim emotional space and then work toward the life they want once they are less overwhelmed.

His clinical focus includes trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, coping with life transitions, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family challenges, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD. He also addresses related experiences such as emptiness, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation or loneliness, mood disorders, narcissism, and sexual assault and abuse. Dr. Brownlow integrates approaches such as attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), hypnotherapy, mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused therapy to tailor care to each person's needs.
